Coming Soon: Global Darts Bar Chain Flight Club Is Bringing Its Own Take on Competitive Socialising to Melbourne
A nine-million-dollar fitout has transformed this two-storey CBD space into a huge darts bar.
Games bars are only getting more popular in Melbourne — where you can play mini golf, do a spot of bowling, participate in carnival-style games or simply throw axes at a wall.
And Melbourne's newest joint providing a space for competitive socialising (with plenty of food and bevs) is the international darts bar Flight Club.
But unlike your usual bar that has a dart board located in some random corner (likely, with plenty of broken darts), Flight Club is a massive tech-filled space that offers a heap of different ways to play the classic game.
These dart boards are digitally enhanced to track your scores and teach you how to play each of the different kinds of games, and they're surrounded by comfy booths that are all yours when you make a booking. Food and drinks are also easily delivered right to your booth, so you can stay focused on beating your colleagues or mates.
When it comes to drinks, Flight Club will be serving up a decent selection of wine and beer, plus a slew of signature cocktails like the Passion Dart-a-Rita (passionfruit margarita) and trophy cocktails that are served in a legit trophy.
Food is mostly shareable and made for the masses — think pizza paddles, popcorn chicken and sticky pork belly bites — so you can eat and play darts at the same time. One hand can hold a slice of pizza while the other chucks darts.
There are already Flight Club bars in Perth and Sydney, but this will be Melbourne's very first when it opens in the CBD on Friday, November 22.
Co-founder of Flight Club Steve Moore commented, "It's been an incredible journey, bringing the joy of social darts to millions across the UK and US, and we couldn't be happier to partner with NightOwl to continue this in Australia. We've had amazing receptions in Perth and Sydney, and we're expecting nothing less in Melbourne."
Flight Club is slated to open on Friday, November 22, and will be located at 228 Russell Street, Melbourne. For more details and to book a dart board, you can check out the venue's website.
